Know ye, that of
Lieut.. Tripp's 10th Ind Battery, Ohio
National Guard, aged - years, and
residing in Lick Township. Jackson
County, Ohio, having joined said or
ganization on the 18th day of July,
A. D. 1868, to serve for the term of
five years. aud having served with his
com pany honestly and faithfully to
the present date is now honorably dis
charged from Military Service of the
State Of Ohio, by virtue of an act of
the General Assembly passed April
End, A. D. 1866, entitled Gan Act to
Enroll the Militia of the State of
Ohio, to Organize Volunteer Militia,
and to repeal certain acts herein NAM
ed" the 10th section of which act re-
quires the honorable discharge of all
members of the National Guard. "
That said - having been muster
ed into the U. S. Service in May, 1864,
under the call for zone hundred day
men," and honorably discharge there
from, is exempt from Military duty,
excepting in case Of war, insurrection
or invasion, or the reasonable appre-
hension thereof. Given at mbus,
Ohio, from the office Of the Adjutant
General of Ohio, this first day of May,
A. D. 1866. By order of Gov. Jacob
D. Cox. B. r. Cowen, Adjutant Gen
eral Of Ohio.
1t seems that the old boys, though
allowed to come home at the close OF
the war, have never been discharged,
and here they have been serving their
State as Soldiers for twenty-four years
without knowing it. Still funnier is
the fact that the discharge which has
been copied here was sent to man
who declares that he never enlisted in
the battery at all. But the discharges
have come at last, and the old veter-
ans of the twenty-four years service
may pursue peaceful avocations with
out fear of being called to arms again.
The war is now almost ended. We
are not sure, however, that the CALI
polls Brigade has been entirely mus
tered out Seriously, these commands
were composed of excellent soldiers
though it was pity the State forgot

Advance sheets of Col. Dom Piatt's
new book of military history are out.
The Col. is perhaps the first writer of
war history to do full justice to Gen.
George Fl. Thomas, and the writer
gives some pretty sharp thrusts at the
military brilliancy Of Grant and Sher-
man. As to Sherman's march to the
sea-" Dom quotes Won Moltke, the
great German soldier:
sin that movement from the front to point on
the where the fleet could relieve the there
a successful march because no enemy was in the
way to make it perilous. Having objective point
in military sense, to make such movement advisa-
BILE, the military is at loss to know why the
emy, so long combated at heavy expense OF lives
treasure should be left to regain all that had been
lost. Accidents be taken advantage of but never
calculated and 1t the merest accident that
the enemy did not regain through that movement OF
the U. s. army all that had been secured through
years of campaigning and hard fghting.''
1t was not dangerous thing to
march to the sea-" because the sea
could not hurt. It was Thomas who
marched to the enemy. After a.num-
Der of serious blunders-that were in
part retrieved by his faithful subordi-
nates-one of which ended in the
death of the gallant Mcpherson, Sher-
man turned Hoods army of veterans
loose to run Northward, while he
marched away Southwark to the sea,
and the war-vessels. Thomas found
serious opposition, in the shape of
Hoods army. Sherman could not
reasonably expect serious opposition.
That's all there was Of the ''march to
the sea-"

The leading editorial writer of the
Commercial Gazette pitches into the
drunkard, rough-shod, because Of the
plea that his appetite has gotten the
better of him, and drags him, or rath
er drives him. on to destruction.
While it is true that there is little
bit of Devil mixed with good deal of
helplessness, in such cases, yet what
must be said of the great, stout loafer
who makes it matter of business to
tempt the very appetite the drunkard
ought to conquer? 1t is all very well
to scold the drunkard for drinking.
but to keep him drinking is what the
doggeries are here for. You cannot
find solitary doggery-keeper on the
face Of the earth who wants any man
to quit drinking, unless it be some
poor devil who has gotten so low that
he cannot raise money for the brute
that sells the stuff We cannot hand
man a glass of whisky with one
hand, and with the other hand scourge
him for bis insane desire for it. The
Cincinnati writer adduces the wonder
full argument that there is natural
appetite far stronger than the appetite
for drink, and that the law Furnishes
wrongful indulgence. So the law does
and at the same it prohibits illegiti-
mate traffic, and even in Cincinnati
the man or woman who keeps place
where men and women are degraded
and ruined-from other appetites than
that Of drink, frequently finds himself
or herself inside of a jail. Treat the
doggery-keeper the same way, and
everybody else will be satisfied.

The present indications are that Johp
Sherman is the most available candidate
for the Presidency the Republicans could
put forward. There is perhaps not man
in the country more thoroughly qualified
to fill the position. To his great financial
ability and eminent craftsmanship. is
added an intimate acquaintance with all
the Departments of the Government ma
chinery. Truly, it seems that Sherman
is the man.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival Of trade at E.
D. Lewis Drug Srore as their giving
away to their customers of 50 many
free trial bottles Of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Group, and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it before
buying by getting trial bottle free,

Speaking Of our reference to Cleve-
lands veto Of the Pension Bill, our
good friend Jones, Of Waverly, says:
1T is very likely that the Standard editor did in
tend fair about the matter when he first started
out but he fell victim to the force of habit and
lied from then to the end of the chapter And they
were darned dirty, mean lies, too.'
It would have been better to have
named one of the ''lies" The trouble
is, Jones political education has been
such that he does not know the truth
when he sees it.

An attempt was made in the Ohio
House on last Friday to pass bill
providing for the refunding Of the tax
paid by the doggery-keepers under the
Scott Law, which was afterward de-
clared unconstitutional. The bill was
introduced by Mr.. Entrekin, and only
made to apply to Ross county. This
was changed, and general applica-
ton given to the bill. During the
discussion Of the bill, Mr. Kennedy, a
member Of the House, read the follow
ing letter:

Mr.. Barrett. A member of the House
said that he was member of the Dem
ocratic House when the Scott Law
was declared unconstitutional by q
Democratic Court, and the money, il
it should have been refunded at all

The Family Circle.

The following is credited to Bob
Burdette by the Kansas City Journal
He was busy man and she was a
society woman. One evening he sud,
denly looked up from his paper and
said:
"By the way, didn't we have ba-
by in this house about the time Mid
land Broad-Guage went up to 9Si"
Eyes" she said, oscar was born
the night of the Everingham recep-
tion."
"Boy, was it ?" he said with show
of interest. 81 had forgotten must
be about Z months old by this time.
Where is he ?"
She touched bell, a servant ap.
peared, and she ordered Oscar to be
brought into the presence of his sire.
Instead of whom the weeping nurse
appeared alone, and with many tears
confessed that the infant Oscar had
been kidnapped in the park six weeks
before, and that the most careful
search had thus far failed to reveal
his whereabouts. Thus we see that
wealth is no barrier to sorrow, and
even into the homes of the rich and
the great troubles creeps with its
stealthy tread, and sometimes breaks
up a whole evening of enjoyment.
